Main idea behind ``hopak`` allow iteratively create data models in easy
readable form and use them as part of your websites. At this moment only
MongoDB is allowed.
Imagine what happends when you plan to create new site (for yourself or
client). You doing several steps and one important is make raw draft of what
content you will publish and relation between different types of content.
Usually it implies you bootstrap your framework, step over several stages of
creating scaffold and only then write models code. In the worst case you write
SQL.
But we are living in 21 century, have decoded DNA, pushing frontier into
space, digging into core of the atoms and listening dubstep! Why we must to
write all that crap? Why computers cann't just do all this stuff?
So that is why we invent ``hopak``. Because we want computers to do that they
supposed to do.
`hopak` is only part of this effort, but there are already some results. So,
example how to make simple model. We use `YAML` because it is very human
readable. Minimal file::
# user.yaml
title: User
description: >
This is user model.
fields:
- name: name
- name: email
- name: site
- name: about
This file is enough to use it as model in your python code::
# models.py
from hopak.models import Model
class User(Model):
__yaml__ = 'user.yaml'
``hopak`` is only a library for bigger framework, if you decide to use the whole
stack then you will get site with admin section including list, edit, add,
search, delete sections for each models.
